I Hear the TV, but I Rarely Watch It, However...

I hear the TV... since Johnny has a few favorite shows that he will not miss, but I rarely watch. It's not that I'm a television snob. Most shows are boring to me so I would rather spend time doing something else.

Tonight, while voting in the photoshop contests, I heard the familiar voices and words of "Casablanca" and simply had to go to the den to watch. (How can anyone NOT love that movie.)

Then an old favorite of mine came on, and I watched it, too. "Waterloo Bridge" is a heartbreaking tragedy in its simplest form with familiar themes like love, war, bad timing and grinding poverty (which often forces people to do what they must in order to survive), but the acting and direction are superb. (Yes, I cried.)

Vivien Leigh was a marvelous actress. She was also a real lady, and unfortunately, her own life was quite tragic.

Sad. Really, really sad.
